I just went and took a peak under the hood of my 200T. It would require swapping choke shafts, top cover, and rotating the fuel inlet 90*. Can you rotate the brass fuel fittings?
Sorry about that........I copied the link to the ebay listing I won and forgot to paste it. Here it is:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130248017711&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=003
And yes, you can rotate the brass fittings........on the 426A I got off ebay the impulse line fitting wasn't inline and I rotate it 10 degrees or so with no problems. I believe those fittings are just pressed in (at least on my particular carb).

order up a bigger main jet it comes with a .45 order a .48 should be like a 1132 121 5600 i think would work. Or a 1123 121 5630 is .48 that should work to

I can confirm that it is a .45 that's in it.
would a walbro wt385 from an 017 work. is this carb adjustable?

I'm still wondering why everyone pooped on Brad's first choice, the wt215. Its fully adustable and works great on my 2 muffler modded 025s. Maybe I missed something.
That's OK. I can poop right back if it works right
. If not, I'll just pick up my self esteme and move on
Besides, the 200T won't work without a few mods eight. Just going on pictures from eBay, the 025 carb looks like nearly a direct swap. I think all I'll have to do is swap the filter compensation covers.

200T has accelerator pump.....
I thought about that. Is that the main reason it has the throttle response it does?

I didn't know the 361 had one.
021-025 carb on my ms170
I bought a used fully adjustable off of a 023. I had to plug the hole in the air-box for the intellicarb top cover, finish drilling the impulse port(halfway tooled already) plug the old one, and straighten the carb side throttle linkage a tiny bit. Other than that you do have to drill a couple holes in the plastic to adjust but overall pretty easy. I had to do this to get the saw to run well with a 5000' elevation difference, but the carb bolts straight on. I can't remember the numbers off the carb off hand, but if you would like I could get them for you.

I tried this on mine
I did try this on mine. The bolt pattern was slightly different(I mean very slightly.) I think you could drill out the holes a little on the comp. cover and get it to fit right. The problem I had was that the new carb with the comp cover on bound somewhere just a tiny bit and caused an air leak between the carb body and boot. I'm sure you could iron this out if you thought you really needed the comp cover but I just plugged the hole in the airbox. My 170 is muff modded by the way and runs spectacularly well after this carb mod.

Oh yea!
One thing I forgot to mention was that the air-box has a molded pocket for the idle screw to fit in. The idle screw in the other carb was bigger so I had to drill out some plastic to pocket the other carbs idle screw and still get the air-box flush with the carb. Sorry to ruin part of the project but I posted the first two responses before I read the whole thread!

My 180 uses the intelicarb cover. I saw the partially tooled impulse passages on my 260 carb. Should be easy. I already drilled the hole for the idle screw since the carb that's on it is not original
This WT-215 was advertised as the carb for a 012, 023, 025. If you used a 023 carb it seems the bolt pattern would be the same. Even the bolt pattern on my 260 carb was the same.
